Devinci is proud to announce their partnership with Canadian’s National DH Champion Andrew Mitchell for the 2009 season. The 21 year old ripper from Victoria BC will be racing all over the world on his new rig.

“We’re excited to have Andrew on board for the 2009 season; he will be a key member in the development of the mountain bike line up. He will also give us great exposure and feedback from all the races that he will attend.” Said David Régnier Bourque, Devinci Marketing manager.

“I am really stoked to sign with Devinci this year, the company is managed by riders and I will get to help with the development of their product line up. This Canadian based company will be providing me with great support all over the world and I am looking forward to a successful 2009 race season aboard my new handmade bikes.” Said Andrew Mitchell, newest member of the Devinci Team.

"Andrew Mitchell is an amazing rider! Devinci has made a great move picking him up! He has proven himself to be one of the fastest and most talented riders in the world with the potential to be even better. It is going to be interesting to see what he can do on a Devinci! I've had the chance to ride with him, and the s@#t he can do on a bike blew me away! This kid is the real deal!" Said Rob Venables, owner of Dunbar Cycles.

Another Cove rider gone. Guess Cove are not as good at employment as they are at making bikes! That said his new bike bares a more than passing resemblence to his last bike..........
